Problems installing a .msi with a .bat file KACE

Hi

I'm having issues installing a .msi via KACE

The .bat-file does uninstall older versions but does not run the .msi

So the problem is probably this line:
msiexec /i "AsperaConnect-ML-3.6.1.111228.msi" /qn ALLUSERS=1


Note: It does work when running the bat-file from the computer but not when KACE does it

The script
@echo OFF
cls
 
 
:KillIE&Aspera
echo. ***********************************************************************
echo.    IMPORTANT NOTICE
echo.
echo.    This will uninstall old Aspera Connect version and install the latest one
echo.

Don't bother adding paths - DOS does that for you. Use '%~dp0' instead. No trailing backslash is required. Thus:

MSIExec /I "%~dp0BLAH.MSI" [rest of command line...]

Is the msi and the bat file zipped in the same directory?  Also try adding start /wait because the msi could be starting while the wmic is still running.  

start /wait wmic product where "name like 'Aspera Connect 3%%'" call uninstall

echo "%cd%" > C:\Temp\kacelog.txt

start /wait c:\windows\system32\msiexec /i "AsperaConnect-ML-3.6.1.111228.msi" /qn ALLUSERS=1

I had a similar issue with a Java installer where the uninstall ran but the .msi would not execute. I changed my line that calls the .msi to point directly to the path where the MI was copied locally. In my case, 

msiexec /i "C:\ProgramData\Dell\KACE\downloads\24021\jre1.8.0_45.msi" INSTALL_SILENT=1 STATIC=0 AUTO_UPDATE=0 WEB_JAVA=1 WEB_ANALYTICS=0 EULA=0 REBOOT=0 NOSTARTMENU=1 SPONSORS=0 /qn

would execute.

  • Tried this, unfortunately no luck. Thanks anyway :) - Leffe 8 years ago

Tried both of your suggestions. Combined. No luck.

Still work when I manually execute the .bat file

Open for more suggestions ;-)

Ok. Noticed in the install log that I get "error 1625: this installation is forbidden by system policy" when running the .MSI

Any ideas?

Google for 'DisableMSI group policy' and check that the value is '0'.

I have deployed so many versions of Aspera Connect by using msiexec /i"AsperaConnect-ML-X.X.X.msi" /qn ALLUSERS=1 in Kace Managed Installations. However, I had trouble deploying version 3.6.1.111228.msi. At the end this is what I did to successfully deploy it.

Ran the following Online KScript to clean up failed installations.

Run As: Local System

Attach dependency AsperaCleanup.bat

@ECHO OFF

cls

TITLE Aspera Connect Cleanup

wmic product where "name like 'Aspera%%'" calluninstall /nointeractive

exit

 

Task 1

Verify:
Verify that the directory “$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)”exists.

 

On Success

Launch “$(KACE_DEPENDENCY_DIR)\AsperaCleanup.bat”

 

 

Created a Custom Inventory rule in Software.

Software Name: Aspera Connect 3.6.1.111228 (Custom)

FileExists(C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\AsperaConnect\lib\3.6.1\npasperaweb_3.6.1.111228.dll)

Attached File: AsperaConnect-ML-3.6.1.111228.msi

 

Managed Install (With user logged in)

Override Default Install>

Select Don't Prepend msiexec.exe

Full Command Line:
msiexec.exe /i AsperaConnect-ML-3.6.1.111228.msi WIX_APP_FOLDER=WixPerMachineFolder ALLUSERS=1 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS /qn
